> capitalism
It’s not capitalism. We don’t have capitalism. Capitalism was what we had in the 18th-19th centuries that gave us the beautiful cast iron buildings in Pittsburgh and St. Louis. We don’t have capitalism. We have a system that taxes citizens so that a centrally controlled bank can print money to bail out shareholders and inflate real estate prices. That’s obviously a sort of socialism, but a billionaires’ socialism, one that socializes losses of the peasantry to bail out the bourgeoisie and allows them to run wild with their sick ideology all over the place. All that ugly architecture and repulsive decoration is the fascination not of capitalists but of the sickest strain of the bourgeoisie who have never had to worry about the cold hard realities of capitalism. Even the Rothschilds had better taste than the Obamas, for example. Pic very related.
